Science Fair at St. Theresa, P7 girls giving a chemistry lesson
Spelling Bee at Nkumba Quran P/S
Vale, Pauline and Mbabazi washing on my porch
It was called a science fare and St.Theresa's has been buzzing with activity for a month trying to prepare for it. The girls aren't allowed to recite or give presentations reading from their papers, so all the exhibitors, from the P1s to the P7s memorized sometimes over 10 minutes worth of information. We had 3 practice runs throughout the week and believe me, they recited the same thing every time. I'd usually be irritated with the forced and droning memorization but because they experimented and had to find information on their own, i think they actually had a fun time learning! Wunderbar!
I read a book by Michael Chabon called "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" and found myself refusing to go to sleep or pretending i wasn't home so i could finish a chapter! Its about comics, New York City in the 40's and 50's, and 2 characters that are so so very interesting.

ReplyDeleteWhat? could not put down a good book. I have not idea what that is like...
Is there a library near all the schools? or does each school have their own?
Enjoy all the smiling faces,
and am waiting to hear more
